IP Config
The IP Config tab includes a link to the following screen.
• IP Address
IP Address
To manually configure IP settings, you need to set an IP address and subnet mask that is compatible with your network. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
An IP address may be used for management access to the switch over your network. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
The IP Address screen displays the following information
IP Address Mode. Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server. Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address. (DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
Host Name. Specifies the name of the switch. Enter the name into the textfield provided, up to 255 characters long. (Default: None)
IP Address. Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed management access. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. (Default: 192.168.1.254)
Mask. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway. IP address of the gateway router between this device and management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
Current Management Interface. ID of the configured VLAN
